GDT: Draft Day Bonanza - All rumors/speculation/draft talk here ( Poll Added!)

[GregSirico]

Need an Edge update.

Like ASAP!

 

[TheTakedown]

So then we have to get aggressive and trade up with Detroit or Arizona.

And take Zadina over Tkachuk!

Depends who zona is hot on

 

[GregSirico]

This is clearly a pipe dream but what would it take to snag that #2 from the Canes, Svechnikov?
I would try to swing for the fences and trade anything that's not nailed down in MSG, probably trade MSG too..

Zibanejed, Chytil, the 9th OA.

 

[Leetch3]

it was a rasslin joke

A whole lot. Apparently they are not interested in moving the pick. I wouldn't move it either.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Targeting the right guys is great... However it does nothing in the end if they’re all gone before you pick.

 

[Gardner McKay]

The player I want the most at #9 is Wahlstrom, and the fact that he is blowing this poll out of the water pretty much guarantees we aren’t going to get him. Sucks.

There are plenty of good players for us to target.

There are so many high end players available where we pick and this draft is such a mystery, trading up will be difficult and so will projecting who exactly will be there when you pick.

 

[NYR]

AFAIK, he still has neck issues and he's retired.

He's attending to wife.
Too much wine lol

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Will never understand the Bouchard hate. Yes, he's not flashy, but not every great player has or will be. His production as a defenseman in the OHL is incredible.

He's low on who I want personal preference wise at 9 but I'd still be happy with him. (I'd really prefer a forward that's why I'm hoping Tkahuck or Wahlstrom). That's why as long as the Rangers go with the players ranked in this area I'll be happy.

Tkachuk
Wahlstrom
Dobson
Bouchard
Kotkaniemi
Boqvist

Any of those guys and I'm good. Bouchard reminds me so much of John Carlson.

Probably a young prospective #1 center, which we don't have. Think Hischier/PLD.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Just like last year when they liked both Makkar and Pettersson both gone before we picked at 7

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I can't believe there have been no moves by any team.

 

[Ghost of jas]

There are plenty of good players for us to target.

If Wahlstrom makes it to 7, I'm fairly convinced he'll be a Ranger.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Montreal is holding everyone up

Once they pick the deals will commence

 

[Gardner McKay]

Yeah? This years draft is a lot higher on talent.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

If we don't move and the board breaks how most are predicting I think Chicago is going to take Wahlstrom.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Zibanejed, Chytil, the 9th OA.

Ugh.. substitute Chytil..

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

If Wahlstrom makes it to 7, I'm fairly convinced he'll be a Ranger.

Well Chicago will take him at 8 so their only shot is moving up.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

"With the 9th overall pick, the New York Rangers are proud to select, from the Ontario Hockey League, Ryan Merkley"

HFNYR collapses inward upon itself creating a black hole.

 

[Unusual Suspect]

Zibanejed, Chytil, the 9th OA.

Ouch. Not up for the Chytil part. I don't for a moment imagine a Svechnikov deal could actually happen. Nice to dream though.

More realistically, I REALLY want some lower picks and some of our expected castoffs dealt for a pick in the 10-15 range where there should still be some choice pickings... Bokk, Farabee, possibly Kravtsov...

 

[Ghost of jas]

Well Chicago will take him at 8 so their only shot is moving up.

Chicago is one of the teams connected to Hayton. I'd worry more about a team trading up to that spot than Chicago. If Koktaniemi and Wahlstrom are there, they'll take Koktaniemi.

 

[cuznvinny]

I have so much anxiety right now, I can't stand it this is such a crucial moment for the team. Let's hope they don't mess this up.

Typical Montreal ;-)
